Our detox for pregnant women prioritizes maternal and fetal health every step of the way.
Whether you’re early in your pregnancy or near the birth of your baby, we’ll provide the evidence-based support and trauma-informed care you need.
Healing starts with safety—for both you and your baby.
Why pregnancy detox is essential
You likely understand that drug or alcohol use during pregnancy can have serious consequences for both you and your unborn child. There are risks of complications like miscarriage, premature birth, low birth weight, developmental delays, and neonatal abstinence syndrome (NAS). But you may not know how to get the help you need to detox, or why it’s important not to do it alone. It’s because quitting suddenly or without professional support can also come with significant health risks.
That’s why pregnancy detox at Next Step Recovery is always guided by experienced clinicians who specialize in prenatal addiction treatment. We’ll tailor your treatment to your needs and gestational stage, helping protect your baby and give them the best start possible.
Our fetal-safe detox approach
Detoxing during pregnancy requires exceptional care. Our program is designed with maternal safety, fetal health, and your emotional well-being in mind.
Here’s what you can expect at Next Step Recovery:
- 24/7 medical supervision to monitor both you and your baby throughout withdrawal
- Personalized detox protocols based on substance type, trimester, and medical history
- Specialization in high-dose methadone detox for those struggling with methadone misuse
- Medication-assisted treatment (MAT) utilizing Suboxone or Buprenorphine when clinically appropriate
- Onsite collaboration with OB/GYNs and perinatal specialists
- Gradual, gentle tapering to reduce risk to the fetus
- Emergency medical response protocols for your safety and peace of mind
Our fetal safe detox program will empower you with knowledge, support, and stability during this precious time in your life.
Discover a healing space for prenatal addiction treatment
Recovery can feel overwhelming even when you aren’t pregnant. And when you are, the stakes feel even higher. That’s why we’ve created the kind of environment that makes expectant mothers feel safe and cared for. At our detox center in Huntington Beach, you’ll find:

Evidence-based therapies to support prenatal recovery

- Individual therapy sessions using cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) or dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) modalities
- Prenatal yoga and mindfulness practices
